Love Poem: First Date

First Date

The day so was special
the dreams were so true
I stood right beside her
no heart beat I knew

From suttle wit
and nowhere came 
the words that I 
would ask this day 

With gentle fear
protruding here 
I stood and asked 
the question shared

How many chances 
out of ten 
would I have 
in going out with you

With heart beat broken 
beating thoughts 
I waited for 
her quick report

with suttle gifts 
and quick reply
she responded 
with an eight

I thought well 
that is fairly high
maybe I 
should take a try

would you like 
a movie night 
with silent fear 
I did reply

We agreed 
to our night out 
this young girls gifts 
did scream and shout 

She did not want
to meet at home
the village pub 
we'd call our own

so I turned up 
at six oclock
I sat a drank 
and watched the clock

Waiting there 
with broken heart 
she did not come 
or play her part

When the daylight 
came around
I went to work 
with my heart down

There I found 
that she had come
I had not thought 
I had not seen

she was to young
to drink my queen
Well I had waited
baited breath 

she waited out
I waited in
I did not get 
my first date out
